A Guelph female faces criminal charges after an alert bank teller called police Wednesday.
The female entered a bank on Speedvale Avenue East and obtained a debit card using the bogus licence, say police. The card was used to withdraw $500 cash from an ATM. Later the same day the female attended another branch in the south end and attempted to withdraw $5,000 with the assistance of a teller. The teller noticed the signature did not match the one on file and contacted police.
Officers arrived on scene a short time later while the female was still on scene. A 50-year-old Guelph female is charged with identity theft, possessing identity documents and fraud over $5,000. She will appear in a Guelph court Oct. 12.
